Plate technotic
movements are very often in Taiwan. Rock quality is usually weak
and fractured. Tunneling in these formations had encountered some
serious problems and failures, including squeezing, block falling,
sliding, buckling and caving. In order to understand the relationship
between support types and displacements around the rock during
tunneling, analyses are required. The Pitan tunnel encountered some
failures in interlayered sandstone and soft rock during construction in
Northern Second Highway. Numerical analyses using distinct element
method (UDEC) are used to understand the failure model and mechanisms.
Impacts of rockbolt position, rock bolt angle, and bolt spacing for
tunnels in soft rock are analyzed in this study. Some results can be
drawn from the analyses: (1) The analyses of the Pitan tunnel use the
same support systems, i.e. Types IV and VI, as in situ. It was
found these two types of support are all failed sicne the dead weight of
the roof rock is too heavy. It causes subsequent massive caving and
sliding. (2) If the joints, dipping to the right, at the right hand
side of the tunnel are in sandstone formation, which have higher hsear
strength than joints in shale, the strength of the rock masses around
the tunnel could be increased easily by installing supports at the
joints, especially at the places close to the crown. The
displacements around the tunnel can be controlled. (3) As the
joints locate at the middle of a tunnel, most failures are due to the
sliding of the joints above the crown and causing squeezing at the
sidewalls. Thus, cause huge crown displacement and caving due to
sliding. For these kinds of joints, the most effective support is
to install rock bolts at about 30 degrees to the joints. (4) The
resisting shear strength between joints is increased as the overburden
depth is increased for the lateral in situ stresses increased as
well. Therefore, as the shear strength is greater than the driving
force, no huge failure will occur. |
